Characteristics of Each Layer of the Lithosphere
Across
- 5. _ boundaries are when tectonic plates seperate from each other
- 7. _ boundaries are when tectonic plates collide with each other
- 9. is a type of crust that is less dense, thicker, and mainly composed of granite
- 10. highly viscous and ductile region of the upper mantle made of semi-plastic rock
- 11. is part of the core that is liquid and is made of nickel, iron and molten rock
Down
- 1. is a type of crust that is denser and thinner and mainly composed of basalt
- 2. is part of the core that is solid
- 3. the outside layer of the earth and is made of solid rock, mostly basalt and granite
- 4. it is the center of the earth and the temperature can reach 50,000 C
- 6. _ boundaries are when tectonic plates slide past each other
- 8. the layer below the crust and is composed of hot, dense, iron and magnesium-rich solid rock
